Banjo, I think I can shed a little light on the subject. Thanks for providing the examples. I feel you on the "if it's not explicit, it might be hard to use/bring up around the table" sentiment. But, let's look at why these are (as you said, conspicuously) missing. The roots of the ED syst...

Well, what do you mean by co-operative rules? Or, can you quote another game's coverage of this rule-space briefly?

so despite not getting it as a full talent, Thieves can use half-magic for using it until Second Circle, and it helps out Scouts who may not wish to take Detect Trap as a talent option.

Treasure Worth Legend to me says that a certain amount of the loot should be Important Stuff (proof of defeating magical creatures, etc).

House Syrtis conceals a Liferock deep within the cliff cave city, and that Brotherhood always had one or two members active during the Scourge (if I remember correctly). Not all t'skrang knew the secret of hibernation. Namegivers of Barsaive mentions that the jungle t'skrang didn't have the hibernat...

And then on a separate page of the character sheet would be the complete tally of Talents/Skils/etc...
